In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed.
With the provision of abundant Spirit Stones, supplying Spiritual Energy, Li Rulong had cultivated diligently for over half a year and finally stepped into the world of cultivation, becoming a Qi Cultivation level one little cultivator.
This also ant that Li Zhixuan completed her promise and prepared to set off.
During this ti, she couldn’t and wouldn’t possibly dedicate all her energy and ti to Li Rulong; she focused more on her own cultivation.
Through grinding and sorting, although her cultivation didn’t improve much, her realm was smooth sailing.
Had it not been for Li Zhixuan worrying that after breaking through the realm, it would imdiately trigger a Thunder Tribulation, and this thinly Spiritual Energy mortal realm was completely unsuitable for Tribulation Transcendence, she would have acted sooner.
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for your thorough guidance in the past six months; I will rember it forever!" Already graceful and handso, Li Rulong’s appearance beca even more outstanding after being polished by Spiritual Energy.
In this mortal city, he truly stood out among the crowd.
However, in the cultivation world, it wasn’t so striking, as generally, cultivators weren’t unattractive.
Even if one is innately lacking, they can improve through acquired ans.
"No need for this."
Li Zhixuan shook her head and said, "There’s one thing unfinished, follow ."
With that, she wrapped Li Rulong and flew towards the barren mountain outside the city.
"Originally promised your grandfather to leave you with ans of protection, today is the fulfillnt of that promise."
"Watch carefully!"
Li Zhixuan did not draw out her Life-bound Magic Treasure, the Life-Killing Mysterious Sword, instead, she fused two fingers, and with a slash in front, a sharp Sword Qi that seed to tear everything hovered in the air.
Facing such a terrifying Sword Qi, she casually reached out and caught it, pinning it in her palm, turning it into a re inch-sized Mysterious Sword in the Mana’s effect.
Then it transford into a stream of light and embedded itself in Li Rulong’s brow, quietly standing in his Sea of Consciousness.
"In the future, if you encounter life-threatening danger, this Sword Qi will automatically activate, and open a space to help you escape, but you only have three opportunities; once used up, it will dissipate on its own."
With that, she waved her large sleeves and sent him close to the city.
"Cultivate well!"
Yet Li Zhixuan was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a light ssage.
She herself had already embarked on the path back to Mount Wanxian.
Li Zhixuan was ultimately not as affluent as Li Zhirui, able to rent Realm of Human Immortality closed ditation Cave Mansion outside; let alone that she had given away many Spiritual Objects.
Ti flew by swiftly.
After nearly a year of travel, Li Zhixuan finally returned to Mount Wanxian.
She couldn’t wait for Li Zhirui to erge from seclusion for a eting before hurriedly returning to her Cave Mansion to begin seclusion.
Unable to breakthrough elsewhere, Li Zhixuan had been laboriously suppressing her realm all year long, leading to either complete and uncontrollable suppression or the formation of a new bottleneck.
The most important thing is the new bottleneck would be firr, unknown how many years would be spent breaking through.
She was indeed lucky this ti, fortunately guided, otherwise, she would be stuck at the bottleneck indefinitely.
Who knows if she’ll be lucky again next ti?
Li Zhixuan dared not gamble, so she hastily journeyed nonstop to reach her family.
Li Zhirui erged from seclusion, learned of the situation, and felt in his heart that Li Zhixuan was about to breakthrough to the Realm of Human Immortality.
"Didn’t expect Zhixuan’s cultivation speed to be so swift!"
Compared to him, it’s not inferior.
Knowing the two have quite a gap in terms of aptitude and in cultivation resources alike.
Yet, from this point, it’s evident that as the cultivation realm elevates, the advantage from aptitude diminishes.
"Seems like the family is about to produce another Human Immortal!"
Li Zhirui, Li Mingyao, and soon-to-breakthrough Li Zhixuan—a Li family with three Human Immortals is quite formidable.
And the presence of Loose Cultivator juniors like Li Xianxun and Li Yunran indicates a well-ordered family legacy, no longer reliant solely on so ’old-tirs’ to uphold.
Like an erupting volcano, Li Zhixuan, just months into seclusion, summoned the Realm of Human Immortality Thunder Tribulation.
Rolling tribulation clouds attracted countless gazes, including not just family mbers but other cultivators curious about Loose Cultivators and spies from various forces.
Unlike Li Mingyao’s straightforward and easy Thunder Tribulation, Li Zhixuan’s appeared entirely opposite, terrifyingly powerful.
Not only because the forr is Divine, and the latter a Cultivator, but it also indicates that in the eyes of Heavenly Dao, the latter holds greater potential, warranting tougher testing.
Facing Tribulation Thunder as if it could rend heaven and earth, destroy all, Li Zhixuan remained calm, sending powerful Sword Qi soaring skywards, matching the Tribulation Thunder evenly.
Outside Mount Wanxian, watching this, cultivators were appalled at the trendous combat power of the Li family’s Human Immortal—far surpassing peers!
"How did the Li family attain such feats, producing successive extraordinary talents!"
"When will my family welco a prodigy, not asking for parity with Li Zhirui or Li Zhixuan, even if slightly inferior, I’d trade a century of my lifespan!"
Beyond shock lay envy.
...
Soon after, Li Zhixuan cleaved all nine Tribulation Thunders, an Outer Heaven Demon fell into her Sea of Consciousness, quickly killed by invisible Sword Qi.
Thus, the Thunder Tribulation completed!
Vast pure Spiritual Energy poured into her body, filling her Dantian Sea of Law, advancing her toward a higher level in the Realm of Human Immortality.
Buzz—
A sharp pressure erupted suddenly, nearby family mbers felt as though weighted by ten thousand swords, skin pricking faintly.
anwhile, all Magical Swords placed outside by family mbers trembled gently, seemingly congratulating Li Zhixuan on her Human Immortal breakthrough.
"Congratulations Zhixuan on breaking through to Human Immortality!" Li Zhirui, Da Qing, and others smiled to congratulate.
Other family mbers bowed slightly, respectfully, saying, "Congratulations Ancestor Xuan on achieving Human Immortality, reaching new heights!"
Tens of thousands of family mbers loudly celebrated, voices reverberating for miles, echoing across heavens and earth.
"Jiu, you..."
Li Zhixuan imdiately perceived his true cultivation, but seeing him slightly shake his head, she withheld the rest.
"Strengthen your cultivation first."
Li Zhirui advised the family mbers, "You too, go back and organize yourselves; perhaps you can glean insights from it."
...
The news of the Li family giving birth to another powerful Sword Cultivator Human Immortal quickly spread across the East Sea shore.
Forces like the Hundred Rainbow Sect were envious, including so originally stronger than the Li family, yet over a thousand years were left far behind.
As for Loose Cultivators?
Their reaction was relatively calm, aware of the disparity between themselves and the Li family.
When transmitted to the Cave Abyss Sect, they weren’t envious, simply amazed by the Li family’s rapid growth.
However, the Great Zhou Dynasty in the south erged as a significant threat to sects, leaving them no surplus energy to confront the Li family.
Internally, so elders suspected the Great Zhou Dynasty’s rise was linked to the Li family.
From collected intelligence, during Great Zhou’s founding phase, a cultivator greatly assisted, essentially single-handedly establishing the dynasty.
Yet, there were doubts about the Li family’s acquisition of complete Human Dao thods.
Even Cave Abyss Sect only received part after the East Sea Dynasty’s fall; how could a shallow lineage family like Li’s possess a full legacy?
Moreover, key Li family mbers publicly appeared multiple tis during Great Zhou’s early period, conflicting in timing.
Thus, despite nearing the correct answer, Cave Abyss Sect ultimately self-negated.
